Our history

Consulting as it was meant to be.

In 1998, a group of consultants came together, recognizing the need for — and sharing respect for — "old school" consulting. Not outdated consulting, but exceptional consulting: a time when consultancies added real value, delivered on client promises, and didn't shy away from hard problems or telling hard truths.

That group went on to build a company that embraced consulting as it was meant to be. The name X by 2 is born of that ambition: to not just meet client expectations, but exceed them by at least a factor of two.

What sets us apart

Built on principles, not shortcuts.

  • Exceed by a factor of two. The name is the promise — we aim to beat client expectations by at least 2×, on every engagement.
  • Senior people, no bench-warming. Around 80 high-caliber architects, developers and designers do the work — never handed off to juniors.
  • Hard truths, delivered. We take on the tough problems and give the honest advice that actually solves them.
  • Ownership, end to end. We treat your business as our own — from the first meeting through long-term partnership.
